University of Minnesota Press Remember, You Are Indigenous : Memories Of A Native Childhood

A respected elder shares stories and insights from growing up on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota With unflinching honesty, Evelyn Bellanger tells a vivid account of her childhood in Pine Point, Minnesota, and relates her experiences to the networked histories of marginalization and oppression faced by Indigenous people in the United States.As Bellanger connects her later activist work to her early memories, Remember, You Are Indigenous emphasizes the implications of intergenerational trauma as well as the strength of community. Grounding her narrative in the precolonization history of the Anishinaabeg and the environmental damages wrought by land developers, lumber companies, and the U.S.Army Corps of Engineers, Bellanger invites readers into her family’s history, weaving stories of her mother, father, and grandmother into her own.She pays careful attention to the seasonality of life and the natural world as she remembers harvesting wild rice by canoe with her family, and she observes social inequities while recalling her time at the Minnesota Home School for Girls state juvenile facility. Through stories tragic and humorous, Evelyn Bellanger’s voice shines.Her impressionistic style offers authenticity and intimacy as she describes the early experiences that have shaped her work as a leader and activist.
